I need to grow beard, wear a baseball cap and get tattooed.

FYI...if you go to the kokohead bullseye range and try to practice like that, you will be kicked off the range.

It's possible to do good self defense training at khsc bullseye range.  You just have to improvise.

Use a sheet of letter paper as the target.  It's the size of the vitals area. The cardboard within the frame (20") is about the width of a torso and arms, and about the torso height from the belt and up.  Or if scaled, the cardboard at 25 yards is about the size of vitals at 10 yards.

Start from step 3 of the draw, gun rotated forward and support hand on chest.  You can use a timer to time your first shots, or begin when the guy next to you shoots.  Just remove about .75 seconds to account for draw steps one and two.

Another exercise.  From step 3 and 25 yards, fire 5 shots with 1 second between shots. If you can keep your shots in the sheet of paper, you're doing good with the sights, grip, trigger control, and shooting positions. That means you are capable of doing great at rapid fire at closer distances.

In the class I attended in Ohio last spring, there were a bunch of dudes that train together frequently and it showed.  I've kept in touch with a bunch of them and some of them train/shoot regularly with the AHT group.  Believe one of them is in a support role with AHT.  Anyways, it is def impressive what level of performance and skill folks can get with consistent training.  As well as being pushed by like minded individuals. 

BTW, that was damn impressive. . .

How much do these classes cost?
Traditional bullseye teaches and reinforces this for ...FREE! It is not sexy with all the gear and all but stresses all the "fundamentals" people spout off but can't demonstrate. Same thing with highpower rifle shooting.

The guy in the video shot pretty clean in impressive times. He had one stray shot, but he’s definitely pushing the limits. That’s training.

I bet the guy can clean “accuracy” under no time pressures. I’ve met and shot with a few of those guys, and many shoot bullseye matches too.

Check how many gun fights Wyatt Earp got into… :hmmm:

Most of the time in self defense, whomever gets the first shot on target wins.

Same thing applies to a fist fight. Hit first.
